Interview: „Privatjets und Superjachten gehören in einer Energiekrise verboten“
Die Ökonomin Isabella Weber fordert eine Margenbeschränkung für lebenswichtige Güter, staatliche Pufferlager – und sagt, Wirtschaftspolitik entscheide über den Aufstieg der extremen Rechten.
Frau Weber was asked about the Union's stance on affordability, which has become a central focus of political campaigns both in Germany and internationally. She reflected on the recent package of fuel price measures announced by the federal government, including a price cap and the potential for a windfall tax. Weber questioned whether the measures truly addressed the essential need for mobility, suggesting that the package only targeted the price of gasoline rather than broader issues.
She advocated for a package that would lower the cost of a Germany ticket to nine euros, introduce a speed limit to promote fuel savings, and provide a bicycle bonus to make alternative transportation options more appealing. In an energy crisis, Weber emphasized the importance of making alternatives to driving more attractive while ensuring affordable fuel for those who rely on it.
